We've accomplished a lot so far. We're not done yet.
Forward Together New Orleans, the Mayor's Fund, has accomplished a lot so far. Here's a recap of some of the incredible work that's been made possible by generous donations from the New Orleans Community:
- More than $400,000 in rental assistance and other aid to those experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness.
- Community leaders trained, equipped, and empowered to be Neighborhood Navigators to help guide residents through new systems in place for COVID-19 relief.

The Neighborhood Navigators program has helped residents across New Orleans access resources related to the pandemic, including CARES Act benefits, contact tracing, and tax assistance.

- Funded training and deployment of community health workers to help the hardest hit and hardest to reach communities during the pandemic. This program doubles as a public health program for impacted communities and a career pathways program for dislocated workers.
- Provided over $750,000 in funding to help immigrant communities who were excluded from receiving federal benefits, including $500,000 in direct stimulus aid.
- Provided technology such as headsets, Chromebooks, and laptops to disadvantaged youth to prevent them from falling behind academically during the pandemic.
- Donated over 200,000 diapers, 40,000 feminine hygiene products, and 15,000 baby food products to families in need.
